Maleficious I've been a fan of The Grumbles for quite some time (before they were The Grumbles, even.) They have an amazing sound. Favorite track: Hard Drive Hero.

holidaymcallister A Pretty Bad Good is the personification of my high school experience, combining indie rock with garage grunge and chiptune elements to create the perfect triad of emotional expression that is personable, nostalgic, and worth giving every second of your time. Favorite track: Nobody Likes You.

Firesale 03:14
be so coy, oh don't you tell me anything I know, lord knows you'll never tell me the truth RGB, oh wouldn't this feel better in black and white at least then I'd feel like it's all behind me and it's coming down when the good men fail there's no rain to put out it's a firesale be so bold, oh wont you raise your fist again fight the sun but when it burns you burn like all the rest now you ache, feel the cross chained round your neck but your gospel will falter and words betray I'm looking forward, we'll live to see the day when when it's coming down and the good men fail there's no rain to put out It's a firesale and the time will come when they burn away the fire and flame that's in your hearts will never fulfill you and the day will come when we turn away and you can live your own hell, I hope it satisfies you be so coy be so bold you have us for now you won't keep control it's coming down when the good men fail there's no rain to put out it's a firesale

The End 01:38
I feel so sorry for the family it wasn't meant to happen like this my soul hearts when I think of the friends money that goes and the joy they'll miss I guess for all that time you spent it's all come apart and gone I guess for all that work the world the world would simply prove you wrong I feel so sorry for the coach hours of practice and sleepless nights I suffer for the broken expectations crashing down from the greatest of heights I guess for all that time you spent it's all come apart and gone I guess for all that work the world the world would simply prove you wrong it's all coming down, you know It's done because being second best isn't all that fun

the hard drives spin up just the same but I be spinnin down the story come crashing back to earth and I will wake up in the same town the same bed the same room filled with same things the same shitty car to the hated job with the same old man you know he's pulling my strings but there's a place I can escape be the one, you know I'm in control fight the good fight every day behind the screen they love me so the time has come once again you know I got to leave, I know you miss me so save my game for another day and walk away, I'll come back you know the same life I'm out where I'm cursed to be I'd rather be with them but that's just a fantasy this world wasn't built for me but there's a place I can escape be the one, you know I'm in control fight the good fight every day behind the screen they love me so the greatest hero you'll ever see though they'll never hear my real name don't cha make me go out there where things only stay the same oh please don't make me go oh please don't tear me away out here they don't care about me in here you know I want to stay oh please don't make me go deny me my only fame want to belong in the story even if they say it's only game the hard drives spin up just the same but I be spinnin down the hard drives spin up just the same

Electrons 03:02
just grenadine, there's no vodka for you question my motives, I question them too screaming electrons, what are they screaming about? when all of them are screaming, they drown each other out a broken home fire on the Yangtze men in dark clothes it's all coming at me and they'll tell me everything's alright could we move a little slower, I'll have to refuse a new disaster on the nightly news I'll keep my eyes peeled, I'll keep my head down stain on the table, stain in this shitty town music turned all the way up but I still feel the dings silly electrons, you know they never meant anything a broken home fire on the Yangtze men in dark clothes it's all coming at me more broken bones a kid with a gun a man comatose a country beholden to none and they'll tell me everything's alright could we move a little slower, I'll have to refuse a new disaster on the nightly news

don't tell me your "honest opinion" because your honest opinion is shit if you cant be civil then don't waste your breath cauz were not even listenin' to it you proselytize and demonize spout opinions you hold so dear must be nice to be up on that high horse but we're not fucking caring down here you're not speaking your mind you're being an asshole you're not dishin' out truth you're bein' a dick you might have a valid point or two but when you say it like that we don't listen to you learn to be a fucking adult and maybe one of us just might give a shit your entitled to your opinion something I won't deny but screaming at me's not communication we're hoping that you just go die you can hide behind "just saying" but your words will be ignored I'll be happy to be your straw man but we're not your sounding board

torn my hands colored with RTV silence cut by sounds of changing tools cuts treated with dirt and antifreeze a task of steel and plastic for this fool I'll pay with soul for every small mistake stripped threads and rounded bolts I see them through determined that this one the yards won't take swear nobody loves you like I do heart not of gold, but bitter black and old sounds the heavens couldn't quite contain machine and tool for art that sits so cold canvas given motion once again I'll keep you clean and safe so when I'm through you'll find someone who loves you like I do
